Cash For Cars accepts all vehicle types in any condition across Canada.
Scrap car value in Canada depends on four factors: vehicle weight, current scrap steel price per tonne in your province, the condition of high-value components, and local demand for salvageable parts.
Vehicle weight is the baseline. A typical sedan weighs 1,200–1,800 kg. A pickup truck weighs 1,800–2,700 kg. Heavier vehicles contain more recyclable steel and are worth more at the scrap level.
Scrap steel prices fluctuate monthly and vary by province. British Columbia and Ontario typically offer the highest per-tonne rates due to proximity to steel mills and export ports. Alberta and Manitoba rates are generally 10–20% lower.
High-value components increase the offer above base metal value. Catalytic converters contain platinum, palladium, and rhodium — their value alone can range from $50 to $800+ depending on the vehicle. Intact engines and transmissions with resale potential add further value.
Local salvage demand affects pricing in specific cities. Vehicles with commonly needed parts (Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Ford F-150) command higher offers because the parts resale market is active.
For a personalized estimate based on your vehicle's specific details, use the scrap car value calculator. It factors in your province, vehicle specs, and current market rates.
